(Un)necessary Rap is back with a tribute to not just ATL but all Southern Rap
True Story has finally woken up out of the 9-to-5 funk to get you what you need, America.
More Cee-Lo. More Khujo. More T-Mo. More Big Gipp.
More Goodie Mob.
Turns out one of True Story's favorite acts out the Dirty and one of the most influential groups EVER in Southern Hip Hop, (besides, you know, ahem, their close friends and colleagues), who helped pave the way for classic southern artists (and conversely whatever else garbage music that is making money these days) closed the 2009 BET awards down (in their hometown, no doubt) with a throwback '95 Jam and their first classic jam "Cell Therapy"
Enjoy:
The Live Performance (And, uhm, yes. Cee-lo is wearing a jacket made of the "Jelly Shoes" Material....moving on!):
The Classic video:
In other notes, also throwin it down from the 2009 BET Awards was The Cypher, live from Greenpoint in the B-R-O, OK? L-Y-N, Come again?
Starring:
- DJ Premier
- Nicki Minaj (newest artist to Young Moolah)
- Buckshot (of Black Moon fame)
- Crown Royal (BET Contest Winner outta Bucktown)
- Joe Budden (Still bitter at Jay-z)
- Wale (BK chillin today)
- Nipsey Hussle (who honestly should just say he's one of the Doggfather's kids)
- GSAN (Why no pic? seriously, try to google him...you can't find him either)
- KRS-One (more on him in a minute...that Nike part slays us every time)
- Mos Def
- Black Thought
- Eminem
P.S. does anyone else think that KRS-One can't actually speak without freestyling anymore? Like he just speaks in rhymes?
Honestly, We aren't knockin it, on the contrary. However, why do we feel like these conversations happen on a regular basis? :
"Hey it's the Teacher! Where you goin KRS one?"
"KRS-One, gotta go to the Store! Just ran outta Milk gotta get me some More!"
"Oh.....Ok"
Anyways, now we are rambling... Git Up, Git Out and Git Somethin, America.
Enjoy, the weekend... Thank God for Friday's!
True Soul Food.
